Serengeti Migration Safaris – Witness the Greatest Wildlife Show on Earth

The Great Wildebeest Migration is one of the most extraordinary natural events on the planet. Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, accompanied by zebras, gazelles, and predators, move through the Serengeti ecosystem in a dramatic cycle of life, survival, and instinct. A Serengeti Migration Safari gives you front-row seats to river crossings, predator action, and stunning savannah landscapes.

At Musabi Serengeti Safaris, we craft unforgettable migration journeys designed around the exact movements of the herds—so you are always in the right place at the right time.

🌍 What Is the Great Wildebeest Migration?

The Great Migration is a continuous, circular journey where herds travel across Serengeti (Tanzania) and Maasai Mara (Kenya) in search of fresh grazing and water. It is the largest land migration in the world and one of Africa’s top wildlife spectacles.

This natural phenomenon includes:

  • Massive river crossings

  • Calving season with thousands of newborns

  • Predator interactions with lions, cheetahs, hyenas, and crocodiles

  • Endless savannah filled with hundreds of thousands of animals

📅 Best Time to See the Migration

The migration is visible year-round in different parts of the Serengeti.

January – March: Calving Season (Ndutu / Southern Serengeti)

  • Over 8,000 calves born daily

  • Intense predator action

  • Best for photography & big cats

April – May: Green Season (Central Serengeti)

  • Herds move north

  • Fewer tourists, lush landscapes

June – July: Grumeti & Western Corridor
